First to admit I'm a doomed droog addict
And I always will be hey man, don't follow me No excuses for drug abuse Said these lines a thousand times Don't want to live atrial fib from neurosis, cerosis Please make me smile if you learn from my trial Baby I'll pay the price maybe saving your life for ya I can't state this point enough The pickup's easy, but the put down's rough Up the nose or tap a vein no one else but you to blame I can't believe I died last night, Oh God I'm dead again I can't believe I died last night, I'm fucking dead again Chemical joy turning thee paranoid Recently buried deep(ly) Greenwood Cemetery I had no pulse last time I checked I'd trade my life for self respect There are some things worse than death I can't believe I died last night, Oh God I'm dead again I can't believe I died last night, I'm fucking dead again 02. Tripping A Blind Man
Say the word and I'll be healed
Opened eyes grease my wheels Since my vision's be restored Trip me once shame on you Trip me twice I'm the fool Thought it's hidden I've been cured Patience is divine but the virtue is not mine Turn your cheek gets ripped off That's why God gave us four This is how you spend life Amused by another's strife Makes me so sad and confused Someone's pain your leisure Can't explain sick pleasure I'm so glad I'm not you Throwing wrenches gave a false sense of power What started sweet will soon turn sour You think it's your place to dispense justice Well I've been sent to judge the judges God damn love cause it's breaking my heart And if I had one wish, I'd see in the dark Tripping a blind man So easy to do Tripping a blind man Why can't it be you? You want to play god And I know you will If that's the case I'll be the devil Now who the fuck are you To discipline me Innocence condemned by the guilty God damn love cause it's breaking my heart And if I had one wish, I'd see in the dark Losing his grip of his seeing eye dog's spikey collar Panicking the startled pet Ran to the street Sanitation truck skidding, unable to stop Shoveled up what was left of His canine Spot As they left, the ground turned muddy crimson Where's my mutt? the victim requested EMS responded "he had to say bye" Teary eyed, the old man cried then died 03. The Profits Of Doom
Of this shape a star of five
Also applies to the one with six sides Against the sun and against the moon I warn you that these two combined Will bring man's doom Of ten horns and seven heads Count your fingers and the continents On your forehead or in your right hand This new moral code that the media commands Believe not in their clever words Because faith inact(ed) are the loudest heard All these things I say are true Understood sadly by a chosen few April 2029 the final time The end my friend is not near The hour in fact is quite hear When the moon becomes red To guide the living dead This means God's turned his back on you It's a Friday 13th of course You won't live to see noon I am a prophet of doom So now the star has fallen Washing away the seas The seventh seal's been opened It's raining your fears Are you paranoid The coming asteroid Has got your name tattooed on it This stone's called Apophis It brings apocalypse I am a prophet of doom Speak the name of he Created thee all to be Which should not be spoken No laws broken Now life and love the stars above Which fall upon the all that worship the beast Influences ceased My faith is an ember Burning ever Working towards a greater reward Serving my lured Built this home upon the rock Not of the flock But coming as a shepherd Guarding his heard My soul's on fire 04. September Sun
September sun blowing golden hair
Now keep in mind son She was never there October's rust Bisecting black storm clouds Only the deaf hear my silent shouts Yet in the dark, still he screams your name Nights living death with witch rhymes insane Ten years amassed, para toda mi vida? Lost man in time, was his name Peter? September sun, rotted flatbush porch I would have run then, had I known the cost Autumnal rays turned your eyes to stone Did it give you pleasure to steal my soul? Yet in the dark, still he screams your name Nights living death with witch rhymes insane Ten years amassed, para toda mi vida? Lost man in time, was his name Peter? Leave her, Leave her alone I said leave her alone Me? I know why 05. Halloween In Heaven
The dead they got that morbid beat
It goes deo deo They dance upon decaying feet With their black toes, oh no Heaven, limbo, and hell Purgatory oh well, oh well Halloween in heaven It's Christmas in hell Halloween in heaven Oh well, oh well The devil stole a yule tree Decorated with souls Jesus trick or treating As him below Heaven, limbo, and hell Purgatory oh well, oh well Halloween in heaven It's Christmas in hell Halloween in heaven Oh well, oh well Bonham on drums, Entwistle on bass As guest morticians Bon Scott on vox Rhoads just for kicks On guitar Hendrix Lennon sits in With his friend George But where is Morrison? Of course I cried When I heard they'd died And took a part of me Same time gave From beyond the grave Became what was meant to be Elvis ain't dead So he isn't here Party never ends Demon roadies, angel groupies Suicide losers If only I'd known how cool death is I'd have killed myself sooner Of harps and choirs Pumpkin pine pyres Flames of red and green Orange and black Years take me back Christmas or Halloween Halloween in heaven It's Christmas in hell Halloween in heaven Oh well, oh well 06. These Three Things
The child is torn
From the womb unbaptised There's no question It's infanticide I'm guilty so therefore condemned Destroying angels must come to an end Now in limbo Deprived of paradise That's not so nice At the end I'll escort you to hell The dark one's forces Lock your flaming cell To murder the ones unborn The worst sin you've ever performed There are two other things I will tell Know them well With due respect Hear these words of caution If considering an abortion If you dig boiling sulphur To which I will not concur Leading to a path of misfortune No one won Of a land that shuns the son So alien call it Area 5-1 Should there be failure to convert Zion What came as a lamb Returning as a lion Not a nation but a self proclaim-ed state Since the year of our lord 1-9-4-8 The road to redemption leads through deserts Rocky though the trip through is well worth it I am the duel of the fisherman Simon He brought alpha, omega, yes I'm the one The twins fell beginning Armadgeddon So the whore too who dwelleth in Babylon All his people gathered round Through forgiveness salvation found 07. She Burned Me Down
She burned me down, down to the ground
Blood, though thicker than water, is harder to clean up You'll get it in the end, boy, if the weapon of choice is blood Expecting it from a stranger, or maybe an aquaintance Never from family or friends, though A simple mistake and expense She burned me down, down to the ground Pissed and dissapointed, I pray to learn to forgive If I can't find it in my heart, then I have no reason to live Here is an education, the lesson professed is quite cruel There are some things worse than death And one of them is you Everytime I see her start a fire I get higher 08. Some Stupid Tomorrow
I can't play God
Forgiveness is hard Forgiving also as tough I have my orders Blood's thicker than water Though much harder to clean up I.O.I. In on it I.O.I. In on it Never forget Punching in walls To prove I've got balls Only got me busted knuckles Therapy is slow And jail is a no A rotting tit on which I suckle I.O.I. In on it I.O.I. In on it Never forget Some stupid tomorrow Some stupid today Some stupid tomorrow Go away, go away Yesterday 09. An Ode To Locksmiths
Been given the keys
I knew I'd receive Be careful what you're asking for Thy rod and thy staff Simply twelve toned math An earful opening all doors Simon the Roman Gone fission for man If you're caught is to be freed Come open your lock By using a rock Or sowing the proper seeds Woe to thee all women Of land, air, and sea Adam was the serpent Apple 'tween his knees Seduced by a snake Worshipped by nations Banished forth from Eden It's the male who is Satan From the tree of knowledge (A metaphor for sex) Plucked a ripened globe of fruit That of her innocence Since forbidden, resisted Forcing her to taste Now I know why girls hate boys Cause Eve was in fact raped We ain't goin' home, got nowhere to go 10. Hail And Farewell To Britain
Once upon a slime
I thought you royalty I would never have questioned Your loyalty Don't act so surprised I saw through your disguise But with friends like you Who needs enemas Up until recently Never had a clue I must admit I pity you I'm through with your kind Cause you've wasted my time Please do not release them Lord, knows what they do I can't believe how cruel life is Emotional blackmail Makes me sick, oh so sick Who is to blame for constant shame on you These words I use, don't confuse with cool This misfortune, not lost but won deserved Choosing is hard Careful which god you serve Traitors many, surrounding me cowards Conspiracy so clear to see flowers We were brothers 'til discovered Deceit tried with treason That's the reason you're beat All hail and farewell to Britain All hail and farewell to thee All hail and farewell to England All hail and farewell to me |
